Evaluation of a shoreline cleaner for enhanced removal of petroleum from a wetland
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The impact and performance of a shoreline cleaning agent in the environment, Corexit®9580 (EC9580®), was evaluated by conducting a controlled release of weathered crude oil (Arabian-light) in May 1998 at a well characterized ...
Two computational approaches for creating Chinese painting
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In this thesis two computational approaches for creating Chinese painting are developed. The first approach uses an expressive paint tool that enables anyone to paint 2D Chinese paintings in real-time. The realistic ...
Two experiments for measuring specific viscoelastic cohesive zone parameters
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
A micromechanical model for a viscoelastic cohesive zone has been previously formulated and based on a continuum mechanics model of the damage zone ahead of the crack tip in a polymer solid. The scale of the cohesive zone ...
Patterns of habitat use by fishes associated with Sargassum mats in the Gulf of Mexico, with an emphasis on the greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili)
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Distribution and abundance of fishes associated with Sargassum mats in the NW Gulf of Mexico were examined off northern (Galveston) and southern (Port Aransas) Texas from May-August, 2000. A total of 37 species (17 families) ...
Role of midgap states in the inelastic tunneling between a d-wave superconductor and a normal metal
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Midgap states are a special type of quasiparticle states in a d-wave superconductor which are bound to any non-{n,0,m} surface (or interface) and have essentially zero energy with respect to the Fermi energy. We investigate ...
Predicting the past: archaeological predictive modeling in Central Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Currently there is a debate raging among archaeologists regarding the origin and timeframe of the first inhabitants of the New World. Clovis archaeological sites are currently the oldest widely accepted occupation, and ...
Veils of Divinity: Christina Rossetti, the Oxford Movement and articulations of reserve and analogy in Seek and Find
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis analyzes Christina Rossetti's second devotional prose work, Seek and Find. Specifically, it examines her articulations of the Tractarian doctrines of Analogy and Reserve. In order to establish her familiarity ...
Effect of immersion chiller management and microbial intervention strategy on Salmonella or Campylobacter post-chill carcass incidence during commercial turkey processing
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The first objective of this investigation was to identify a practical and efficient sampling and culture procedure for recovering Salmonella and Campylobacter from commercially processed turkey carcasses. To investigate ...
A finite difference model for predicting sediment oxygen demand in streams
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) is a significant part of the dissolved oxygen budget in waterways, comprising up to 50% in some systems. It, therefore, has the potential of having a significant impact on the environment. ...
Summer fish assemblages in channelized and unchannelized reaches of the South Sulphur River, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
I used a conceptual model proposed by Schlosser (1987) to compare channelized and unchannelized reaches of the South Sulphur River, Texas. This model suggests that fish assemblage structure can be predicted based on the ...
